Welcome to the NZRA Blog

At NZRA, we work at an agency, industry and professional level to build capability, develop partnerships, and equip individuals and organisations with the skills they need to deliver high quality recreation experiences that engage participants. Its vision is that in 2020 New Zealand has a strong recreation industry that meets the needs of current and future participants, so that through recreation, New Zealanders are active, healthy, and connected.

Throughout the year we will bring you original content from key voices in the recreation industry. This is the place to come if you want to hear the opinions of partners and recreation champions in New Zealand and beyond.

The blog will provoke discussion on the global/local issues that will impact our future participants and our society. What spaces and places will we need to provide, what recreation activities or events will they be used for? and what global impacts will New Zealand see that can impact our nation?

NZRA works for the benefit of New Zealanders by building capability and networks within the recreation workforce, raising awareness of best practice, and advocating for the benefits of recreation, recreation investment and a highly skilled recreation workforce that meets the needs and expectations of participants.

Watch this space for content that examines future trends and issues that we face as a sport and recreation industry.
